Background: In occupational health management experiential trainings for the prevention of psychosocial risks in the country are very low despite their benefits for both workers and employers. Objective: To compare over time the degree of preservation of cognitive-emotional content with the insertion of dissuasive phrases (group A) versus persuasive phrases (group B), for compliance with psychosocial health regulations in the workplace of a group of professionals from the Peruvian Amazon. Method: Quasi-experimental design of two groups pre- and post-test, the latter stage of three measurements. Thirty-two professionals (n = 16 per group), ages 22 to 36 years, participated. Training lasted 18 hours spaced over six weeks (December 2018 and January 2019). Results: In group A after reaching 91.4% performance in posttest-1 until 90 days there was a decrease (VP = -8.1%; F2/30 = 14.69; p = .0001); from 30 days to 90 days the decrease tended to stabilise (t = 1.08; p < .345). In group «B» the decrease was greater (VP = -11.1%; F2/30 = 8.29; p = .001). Conclusion: Experiential training with a neurolearning approach can improve the preservation of content with the insertion of dissuasive phrases about psychosocial norms at work over persuasive phrases.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the factors associated with overall functioning in patients with schizophrenia who attended the outpatient clinic of the Hospital Nacional de la Policía [National Police Hospital] "Luis Nicasio Saenz" in 2018-2019., Methodology: Non-experimental quantitative study of a descriptive cross-sectional correlational type. Convenience sampling was carried out, and consisted of 53 patients with schizophrenia. Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) was used to assess overall functioning, the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP) for cognitive functioning, and a data collection sheet with sociodemographic data and a history of the disease., Results: It was found that 34 (62.2%) patients were male; 52 (98.1%), single; 39, (73.6%) without a current job. We found worse overall functioning in patients with a lower educational level (P = .005) and without a current job (P = .004). The total FAST was correlated with the time of the disease (ρ = 0.334, P < .05), the number of previous psychotic episodes (ρ = 0.354, P < .01), the total SCIP score (ρ = 0.542, P < .01) and their working memory dimension (VMT) (ρ = -0.523, P < .05). In the multiple linear regression model, it was found that the variables that most influenced the FAST were the total SCIP score (Beta = -0.528) and the number of previous psychotic episodes (Beta = 0.278)., Conclusion: The associated factors that most influence overall functioning in this sample of Peruvian patients with schizophrenia are cognitive functioning and the number of previous psychotic episodes., (Copyright © 2020 Asociación Colombiana de Psiquiatría.
